SAN FRANCISCO — (BUSINESS WIRE) — March 24, 2015 —
Bigcommerce,
the ecommerce platform of choice for fast-growing brands, today
announced that former eBay and Intuit executive
Lorrie
Norrington has joined its board of directors. Hailed as a trusted
mentor to some of the top companies in Silicon Valley, she will bring
her operations, leadership and product development expertise to
Bigcommerce. Bigcommerce powers some of the world's best online
experiences for many high-growth companies, including Enfamil, Cetaphil,
Gibson Guitar and Ubisoft.

“I’ve seen firsthand how empowering business owners to focus on their
products and customer experience can transform growth, and Bigcommerce
is on a mission to help small and mid-size companies effectively
compete,” said Norrington. “Bigcommerce enables retailers to focus on
what they do best – buy and merchandise great products – while providing
a superior end-to-end ecommerce experience.”

“As someone who’s well versed in all stages of ecommerce, from small
businesses to enterprise-level retailers, Lorrie is a great leader to
advise Bigcommerce as our platform evolves,” said Eddie Machaalani,
Bigcommerce co-founder and CEO. “Throughout her career, Lorrie’s
incredible accomplishments have earned her the respect of virtually
every company in the Valley, and I’m honored she’ll be working with our
team.”

Norrington’s knowledge of the global ecommerce market will help shape
Bigcommerce’s strategy as the company expands internationally in the
coming months. As President of eBay Marketplaces, she led eBay strategy
and operations for millions of merchants in 39 countries and is
intimately familiar with global expansion. In addition, her experience
as CEO of Shopping.com makes her retail experience and understanding of
online retailers’ sales and strategic targeting invaluable to the
Bigcommerce team.

Norrington is also currently on the boards at DIRECTV, Autodesk and
HubSpot. She is active in many of Silicon Valley’s standout technology
companies and is a well-respected leader. She also acts as an Operating
Partner and Advisor to Lead Edge Capital, where she provides counsel on
growth-stage software and Internet business investments. Prior to her
experience as eBay, she was executive vice president at Intuit and spent
20 years at GE.

Norrington joins a team of technology industry experts working with
Bigcommerce. Most recently, Scott Dussault, former Demandware CFO joined
Bigcommerce’s Board of Advisors alongside Chris Fry, former head of
engineering at Twitter and Salesforce.com. Kal Raman, who honed his
skills as an executive at Groupon and Amazon, was appointed to the Board
of Directors in January to help scale high-growth operations.
